Ford 85?

I picked up this tractor for free for helping some people clear out a house, but as I Google around I see LT75 models that look like it, but no 85. I have the manuals, it says it's a 1968 model, but I can't really find any other information online regarding a model 85. Does anyone have any links or info on this particular tractor? By the way, this is my first lawn tractor. I'm excited to start tearing into it and getting it back up and running.

Welcome to GTT. That is a nice LT. I have 2 of those series lawn tractors. One is an LT75 and I think the other is an LT85. The tractors are basicly the same except the 85 has a bigger engine. Both of mine have mower decks but they are very rotted. Good Luck, Rick

That's powered by an 8hp briggs and has a hydrostatic rear controlled by the foot pedal. I have a White 108H thats the exact same and the White and Ford were built by Jacobsen. The Jacobsen model that's the same is the lt885. The old lawn tractor hydros like these are hard as heck to find. I ended up buying a Ford 85 from New York to get a rear for my White.
